Iranian educational reform initiatives

Overview

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has prioritized educational reform and human capital development as central pillars of national policy. Initially, the President focused on achieving educational justice, particularly for students in disadvantaged regions, and proposed restructuring the Literacy Movement Organization to avoid overlapping responsibilities. He suggested utilizing mosques, schools, and health centers to improve literacy through a neighborhood-based approach.

Subsequently, Pezeshkian expanded this rhetoric to frame education as a vital sector capable of saving the nation. He argued that the potential of Iran’s youth is more valuable than its natural resources, such as oil and minerals. The administration has expressed a commitment to fostering dynamic, creative thinking and critical skills to protect national sovereignty and ensure the country can compete through human ingenuity and technology.
